NEW YORK state, the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic in the United States, has experienced its lowest one-day death toll in two weeks, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced Saturday.
Cuomo said 540 people had died in his state of 20 million inhabitants in the preceding 24 hours, and he suggested New York may now be on the downslope after a recent plateau in deaths.
That would be the lowest total since 432 deaths were registered on April 2, according to data from the authoritative Covid Tracking Project. (AFP)
